How I Stay Focused (and Extra Sparkly)

16 March 2016

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire
Staying focused as a blogger can be really difficult. I often find I'm trying to work hard but really can't focus (or stay extra sparkly) when I need to. Through spending time in different jobs, working from home and blogging full-time, I've figured out a few ways I can stay focused and complete a task in good time.

It's Still Wellie Season

12 March 2016

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire
So technically, it's spring. Honestly, there's been very little snow and I'm quite disappointed as 2015/2016 was expected to have one of the worst winters ever. Actually, there's only been two days of traffic-stopping snow in West Yorkshire, and the enormous floods did way more damage than the snow has. Either way, I'm still saying it's wellie season. 

Six Ways to Make Your Lunch Break More Exciting

9 March 2016

Lunch could easily be described as the best part of a working day. There's no stress and there's food - what else do you need? However, a lunch break can be boring if there isn't much to do. I've read articles on making the most of the lunch time we have, or managing motivation levels to be most productive during lunch - but none of them really made much sense to me. There's a certain mental attitude that will make lunch better, but there are also physical tasks that can be done to create an entertaining environment. I see my lunch as a break away from my job, so the last thing I want to be doing is... my job. There are only so many to-do lists that can be written and windows to stare out of. For some, a lunch break can drag on for way too long; but I have several methods of making that magical hour a lot more exciting.

I'm so excited for summer. Like seriously, embarrassingly excited for the sun to finally appear. In Yorkshire, all I can see at the moment is snow, and as fun as snow can be, I just love summer style. Wrapping up warm is great, but being cold really isn't. I have Pinterest boards dedicated to both summer and winter style, but a great summer wishlist will always be number one in my heart.
